Getting there!!!!
After almost a 6 months of planing, traveling, coordinating, and in the end shipping, its almost done!! Now what is it you ask? Simply put a tool to bring the Scion community together again to honor a member of the Scion community.
Well as many of you will remember last year on Memorial day weekend we lost a dear friend a family member Corina Iosia. I struggled for a bit afterward trying to think of a way to make a positive out of the situation and I think I finally have it with the community's help. I present to you this:
Now it is not framed yet but the plan is to in the near future get it framed and auction it off and donate the proceeds to a suicide prevention center in Corina's name. I will be approaching regional Scion reps, dealerships, and opening it up to enthusiasts as well.
I would really like to thank:
Ken Gushi
Tanner Foust
Troy Sumitomo
and especially
Chris Rado
Ken & Tanner both autographed it @ Formula Drift this year on August 8th in Monroe, WA. Troy Sumitomo autographed it in Las Vegas at the SEMA show Nov. 4th, also in attendance was Chris Rado but, I had left the jersey in the hotel room that day (figures right?). However he was really interested in the project, and offered to sign it after SEMA. I mailed it him, he autographed it, and sent it back along with some other autographed items as well! Again I want to thank the fore-mentioned people for helping make this project a reality, and hopefully we can really raise a lot of money and do some real good for those in need, and show that the Scion community is more than just a bunch of people that drive the same type of car.
I will update this as information warrants (pics of it framed, when it goes to auction, etc) I just wanted to get this out there and hear some thoughts

I was hoping to get the big names on this one and maybe do a second community one to hang at the dealership. Thanks guys glad to see people like the idea was hoping it would be well accepted.

Update I am looking at expanding the project...I am contacting other members of Scion racing and going to see if I can't press my luck and get all the drivers, and Scion mentioned tuners to autograph! Cross your fingers everyone!!!!
